Mission Unaccomplished

2000 dead is a milestone, sure, and an unhappy one, though Brit Hume doesn’t seem to think so, here. But to me the really problematic statistic today is that Iraqis are dying at a clip of sixty per day. That’s sixty dead Iraqis per day whose way of “welcoming us as liberators” is to get killed. No worries though, “The insurgency is winding down.” Here. These are the people all those smart folk trusted to reverse a thousand years of history and bomb the Arab world into democracy. Shame on them. Arianna Huffington tallies up some of the lies that got us here, here.
